Since my love of Alpacas began, I thought about the process from fleece to yarn, and that's when I became a spinning fanatic! I was then lucky enough to receive my very own Kromski Fantasia Spinning Wheel as a present from my family! To begin with, I found this skill quite hard to grasp.
My first skein of yarn didn't quite turn out as I wanted it to! It was uneven in places, and it wasn't really how I imagined it to look! But as I have discovered, with most crafts practice makes perfect, and slowly but surely my technique improved along with the standard of my yarn.

| My first attempt was with natural Swaledale (beige) and Teeswater wool (cream) |
Experimenting with assorted fibres is a great way to give your yarn a beautiful intricate texture, so once I had mastered the basic technique, I moved onto new fibres.

| I used died Merino in two tones of duck egg blue with Tussah silk |
 |
| So here is my yarn! Looks so much better than my first attempt, don't you think? |
